MacBook Pro FC9 Issues

[Rupak kumar Bag]

Wondering if any of you folks have tried FC9 on the latest Mac Book Pro (I just got one a month back).

I am facing 2 problems with my machine:

 

1) MBP has bcm4328 chipset and I have ndiswrapper and network manager installed. Network manager is behaving randomly in the sense that sometimes it allows me to connect to a secure WPA wireless connection but sometimes denies me connection asking me to type the connection password again. Retyping password doesn;t necessrily lets me in, but I keep trying 1-2 more times and it lets me in. I tried blacklisting

I have installed FC9 on the latest Mac Book Pro. I am facing 2 problems with my machine:

Retyping password doesn;t necessrily lets me in, but I keep trying 1-2 more times and it lets me in. I tried blacklisting echo old drivers like bcm43xx, ssb, b43 but still doesn;t work. Please let me know if anybody else is facing the same or have a solution to it.

 

2) Second issue is bluetooth. The adapter is detected but it is unable to find any other bluetooth device like my cell phone. Folks please let me know if you have any solution.

 

Thanks,

Rupak

I don't know how to help you with your first problem, but I might have an
idea on the second.

I encountered a simmilar problem on a MacBook (not Pro). I figured out
that the Bluetooth adapter was initially in HID mode, so I had to switch
it to HCI mode.

hid2hci should do the trick. I've put this command in /etc/rc.local so it
is executed on every boot.
